No Idea if I'm making this correctly, general wiki virgin... I don't mind keeping the specifics/updates on my userpage though n.n... this is pretty much what my userpage states atm...
Lore
Extraxi, a name derived from the Dragon. These individuals are blessed at birth with Otherworldly lineage from Dragons. They essentially are natural users of the spear, a somewhat slow but puissant construction capable of almost heartless domination. Many Extraxi Skills require remorseless stores of energy thus making use of the one in a million ability given to them before birth. Worldly manifestations of the Drake Soul gain natural highs from taking the spark from a foe's eye(s) and develop almost Diamond-Sheath skin making them able front-liners without the burden of bulky or ponderous armor weights. Also able to capture or manipulate souls and channel lineage to export mass destruction make the Extraxi formidable.
Playable races: Sylvanni, Human, Norn.
Minimum/Maximum Armor: Head n/a, Chest , Arms n/a, Legs , Feet .
Spear Type Weapon
Maximum damage range: - Attack rate: 1.70 seconds. Pierce/Brandish: Per Rank in Spear Mastery you have a 3% chance to hit a foe either directly adjacent or directly behind target foe.
[Primary Att: Drake Soul]
With Each Rank in Drake Soul you gain +1 'Base Armor', Each time you deliver a finishing blow you gain 1 energy for every 2 ranks.
[Spear Mastery]
Spear Mastery increases the damage you do with spears and your chance to inflict a critical hit when using a spear. There is a 3% chance per rank of Spear Mastery that attacks from your Spears will Pierce/Brandish. Many skills, especially spear attack skills, become more effective with higher Spear Mastery.
[Mew Finesse]
Without Mew Finesse, you can control no more than one Soul Cage. For every two ranks of Mew Finesse, you can control one additional soul cage. Many Extraxi skills, especially those that confine souls, benefit fellow ally, and benefit combat, become more effective with higher Mew Finesse.
[Preeminence]
No inherent effect. Many Extraxi skills that involve destroying a certain type of monster, especially related Stances and Shouts become more effective with higher Preeminance.

- Why this is a good idea
- It will allow ideas like the Spear Wielding Vanguard to come to fruition
- Somewhat Unique Primary Ability
- Would possibly include many appealing weapon skins
- Being Hybrid may inspire different possible skill animations whilst in production
- Dragons are apparently what GW2 is based upon in a bigger picture
- Some elite armors could possibly require one or two Dragon parts (Quest Reward?) making a select few sets higly prestigeous?
- Armor as an attribute effect looks original; brandish might be a good alternative for scythes
- Why it may not work out
- Spearman has already been suggested... this would add to the clutter.. <<< I agree, why not just add to the old ideas?
- GW2 could have an entirely different skill/battle system all together making this page rather useless
- Vault may possibly be an issue...
- Seems unbalanced at the moment. 5 inherent attribute effects 3 of which on the same attribute seems too much.
- Soul Cage needs some explanation I think. Does it work like adrenaline (if so, merge for simplicity)? Is it rather fixed to the attribute (if so merge with attribute)? And is it really worthwile enough to add a mechanism for (also means adding logical counter skills etc)?
- Is Vaulting basically shadowstepping+attack? Could be explained a bit; also, shouldnt have too big effects with it then.
- Shadowstep, multihit weapon, high hitting attacker, AoE damage skills... is it supposed to replace the sin and dervish? (can't imagine otherwise)
- Spear and "skills that benefit allies" seem a bit overtaking the paragon... please specify if you wish to replace that one (too)?
- Dragon lineage sounds more like a racial thing, and since the dragons are 'bad guys' I think that will either get complicated or poorly worked out. May be better to leave out (just my personal opinion)
